Ok. Let me explain something to you...
First, I can bet my balls that no Honda key can open my car except my key. Some never-do-wells have actually tried opening my car on two occasions but failed.
Honda cars keys are actually high security keys, much more secure than Toyota keys. I won't explain why that is, but I can explain why you had such experience.
Most of those cars are more than 15yrs old. Over the years, there is wear and tear on both the key blande and the lock pins. As the pins wear out, they no longer fit tightly in their location and tends to fail. The failure can come in two ways. Either it allows more keys to open it, or it fails to unlock even with the correct (old) key. When it starts getting difficult to unlock with the correct keys, most Nigerian locksmith, instead of doing a proper fix, they go and file down the worn out pins or even remove them entirely. This further worsens the situation. The pins are the security guards. Removing even one is an abomination.
What I do to maintain my key security (which I advice anyone reading this to do): Whenever I buy a new Honda, I order a new keyblade (or the whole key) from AliExpress. I send them a clear picture of my old key and pay for key cutting service. In my experience, they analyze the picture, decipher the key code, and then cut a perfect key. This is much easier if you already have the key code.
There's a good chance that this new perfect key might have a problem opening your car door or turning the ignition because your keyhole is already worn. Try it on less frequently used keyholes on your car, like the glove compartment, the rear seat fold release or the trunk pass through. If it works, then comes the second step.
I order for Hon66 lock pins from AliExpress. Then I tear down the door and bring out the key cylinder. I tear this down further to bring out all the worn out lock pins. Then I repin them to exactly match my new key. I also do this to the ignition hole as it is the most used keyhole and most worn out.
This brings back the security of your key as Honda intended it.
All these might sound complicated to the average Nigerian car owner, but remember this is a security issue, it is NOT supposed to be easy.
If you can not do this and can not get your locksmith to do it, then don't blame Honda when 5 different keys open your car.

To be honest, cars are actually made to be "set and leave" when you you purchase it brand new. The situation of our country in terms of roads, substandard vehicles parts, substandard oils, inexperienced engineers, poor maintenance culture (for some people) etc, are the reasons why vehicles always have issues.

My secret is to get every bad parts changed immediately and carry out routine maintenance on my car. It's expensive but in the long run, I achieve the "set and leave" goal at almost 98% of the time.

It consumes fuel for the following reasons.

Worn and expired plugs.
Dying coils with wires
Exhaust leak
High response to gas pedal and sudden braking
Use of AC on short trips (With the high fuel consumption, Dem no born me well to use AC)
Loose engine plugs or wires
Weak fuel pump
Dirty oil and carbon filled injectors
Dirty or weak maf sensor
Vacuum leaks from hoses
Last but not least,uneven tyres balance,weak brake pads.

I'm not in Lagos. And I'm not a car technician. I just give advice based on the little knowledge I have acquired over the years of using Honda.
Buy a cheap Bluetooth code reader from konga or jumia and scan the car yourself. The Bluetooth code readers are less than 10k.

Cryomancer:
That's a whole lot of fuel consumption.

Please scan the car and post the code here let's look at it.

Can I buy the bad kit from you?

I have been experiencing very poor network from starlink since last weekend.
I wanna ask if I'm the only one or it's a general problem, cos it's never been this bad.

PS. I'm on the roam unlimited subscription

While sitting in the car. The driver side. At the end of your left leg there is a fuse compartment. Open it and look at tye diagram behind it.

Right there is a diagram of where all the fuses for your electricals are. Look at their images and it's corresponding number.

Take a torch 🔦 bend down at the fuse compartment and locate the exact fuse position by its corresponding numbering, pull it out and replace it with the corresponding fuse of same rating (nothing more or less) with what is displayed on the diagram aka a 10amp fuse with another 10amp fuse too AND NOT 15 or 20amp types.

Use new fuses, DO NOT USE WIRE TO BRIDGE THE FUSE SO AS NOT TO CAUSE A FIRE or fry another innocent circuit.
